Rogue State of Mind

We're Back in Black Feb 21, 2025

After a long break and many people inquiring about the shows return I feel grounded enough to restart and share my unique perspectives on human health and solutions to modern problems.

Unlike other health educators that get stuck in one paradigm of thinking, I have made it part of my ethos to go against the grain.

Rogue State of Mind is the new name for my podcast, formally Mitolife Radio, because I have gone rogue and I encourage you to do the same.

The Complexities of Natural and Artificial Light Exposure with Dr Alexander Wunsch Dec 13, 2024

Most people take the light in their life for granted. People wear dark glasses to block light during the daytime and nothing on their eyes at night. This gives the retina in the eye the signal that night time when its really daytime and that its daytime when its really night time. This small example illustrates how disconnected humans have become with their environment and this circadian mismatch coincides with the rise in neolithic diseases.

Dr Alexander Wunsch has been studying the science of photobiology for decades and joins us to share his thoughts on how we can improve our relationship with light, both natural and artificial. I ask him about incandescent versus LED lights, he explains why darker skinned people do not have more melanin, which types of skin cancer come from overexposure to sunlight, how to determine your tolerance to sunlight, his thoughts on photosensitizers, which wavelengths of light window panes block, his thoughts on sauna therapy, vitamin D, why he doesn't like narrowband UV light devices, why red light panels are not quasi-monochromatic and why he's concerned with them, and more.

Circadian Health Tips with Sarah Kleiner Dec 06, 2024

What happens to our health if the body thinks that its daytime when its nighttime and nighttime when its daytime? Sarah Kleiner shares her experience healing herself of Hashimotos, IBS, skin issues, and birth complications. She talks about out how to optimize leptin and how the benefits of sunlight exposure are more about melatonin and less about vitamin D.

She also talks about sunscreen, how long to expose our eyes to the sun in the morning, when the best time of year to use sauna therapy and drink deuterium depleted water, the deliterious effects of sunglasses, which kind of light therapy won't disregulate your circadian rhythm at night, why she uses ultraviolet bug zappers throughout her house, her thoughts on earthing products, and more.

Her MyCircadian app that she created is a great tool to use to measure lux (light intensity), see the times of day that ultraviolet A light is present, and when you input your height, weight and Fitzpatrick skin type you can measure your vitamin D production.
